Mostly God's creations through my lens.
Sometimes old buildings and such.
Sometimes my own creations through hand knitting and needle felting.
And sometimes just life as it is happening.

Thought I would show some of what I have been doing while I have not been blogging. This first is called a shawlette, it is smaller than a shawl. Made out of 100% Merino Wool, so soft.Next my first attempt at hand knit socks. The pattern is boot, or ski socks. I will use them as house socks. I had to make socks before I could register for the Christmas Stocking class. I did enjoy making them, made both in 4 days.This scarf is for my mother for Christmas (she doesn't blog, so she won't see it).Another scarf, this one is so very, very easy and fast to knit.Market bag, just throw this one in your purse and pull it out at the register instead of getting their plastic.

A baby jacket

another baby jacket

and yet another baby jacket. The 3rd photo comparing the size of the orange and white baby jacket to the brown one. Not much difference.

In an earlier post I showed the orange and white baby jacket and Mason in his wallaby sweater. Below is Noah in his wallaby sweater, with his proud Mom (Wendy).

You can click here and see Noah with 2 blankets I knit him before he was born. Wendy's post is nice and he is so cute (can you tell I am the Granny?!?)

I actually have more but that is all I have photos of for today's post. Yesterday I went to Newfound Gap to see the colors, very disappointing. At Newfound Gap the leaves were all gone, think that snow took them right off the trees. At the bottom of the mountains the colors are just getting started good so will have to go back again, just not to the top.

I hope everybody is doing good, and I will try to get around to visiting all of you.

I've missed you Leedra but you sure have created some treasured heirlooms. It would be hard to choose a favorite, but the scarf for your Mom is stunning. I love seeing Wendy wih Noah - your heart must be overflowing! Enjoy your weekend.

You certainly have been busy away from the computer, but everything looks wonderful.We've been disappointed with the color around here as well. I mowed more leaves than grass today, but the wind was blowing and there are about as many down now as when I started. Such fun!

Leedra, your knitting projects are amazing. It's been years since I've knitted (or even crocheted) anything. You and Ruthie J (Nature Knitter) are so inspiring. I look forward to getting back to doing needlecraft one of these days. If I don't get back to it before I retire, I will certainly get busy with the yarn by the time I do retire (which is about 2-3 years from now). Love those socks!!

OH my Leedra! You are so good at that - I can only knit dish cloths and even that is challenging! I just LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that scarf you made for your mother. That is just awesome! And the baby jackets - wow!

About Me

I am a Christian wife, mother and grandmother. I have 2 grown married children, 3 grandsons, and one granddaughter. I have been a photographer over 40 years, receiving my first camera when I was 12 or 13 years old. I am always passionate about the craft that I am currently involved in. My husband tolerates my passions quite well, whether it is my photography, stained glass or knitting. I started digital photography in 2007, and started selling my photography at that time. I began selling my knitting in 2009, and needle felting in 2010. I began designing knit patterns in 2009, but did not begin selling them until 2011. I also enjoy flower gardening, birding and x-stitch. Leedra's Photos For Fun sometimes shows these other interest. Photography By Leedra is always my photography, but it is not posted as often as Leedra's Photos For Fun. Heirloom Goods blog is about what is going on at Heirloom Goods, not just my creations, it sometimes includes Jimmy's creations.
